[Thunderbolt General] KrisisTP:
I had my TB since March of this year, and I didn't have 4G to pick up until they expanded here. While my phone would originally pick up 4G, it stopped picking it up unless the signal was very strong, like in a Verizon store where they have the repeaters. My wife's TB would pick up 4G if it was anywhere around, and would smoke my phone for data speeds every time. I had changed the SIM card, which had no noticeable effect, and finally sent it back under warranty and got a replacement. Of course, I had to unroot and restore to stock, but my replacement is as good as it should have been all along.

To the OP, It may be a situation where you have some HTC phones that have poor signal issues like mine had. My original TB could have had the issue all along, but I was not aware because of how well the phone handled everything else, and the fact that it DID pick up 4G, just not very well.

---------- Post added at 06:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 AM ----------

Oh, to add to this, my old TB would only get data speeds averaging 4-5 MB/s down with 4G, and my wife's would get 17-26 MB/s side by side. My replacement gets 15-17 MB/s down and 8-10 MB/s up with the 906 radio. Wife's radio is 508/510 combo, I believe.

Uhh youre on wifi there buddy. I think he was talking about the 4G/3G data speeds.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Uhh he used 4G for the test as stated by the network and IP's in the picture. He just took the picture while using WiFi.
[Thunderbolt General] nxslt1:
Two things I've noticed on my phone.....one is all gingerbread roms with any radio i have tried slow my speed way down except the latest shiftao5p, its decent with it. With gingerbread roms i only get about 3-5 mbps but with any froyo rom including the very first build i get at least 15mbps.

Secondly, i bought a cheap extended battery off eBay and the cheap battery cover has a cheap antenna in it. It wouldn't pick up 4g most of the time. I put a small piece of aluminum foil on the antenna prongs and put the cover back on and that helped, it would at least pick up 4g after that. With the seidio battey and cover it picks up great. So watch hose cheap extended battery covers.
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
The speedtest app everyone's been using seems to have inadequate test servers. I routinely get ~15Mb/s from them. Using http://speakeasy.net/speedtest, I frequently see TWICE the speed. Let me upload some screenshots from my phone. Not sure if there's "proof" that it's from my phone though, but rest assured, it is. My home 'net speed is 6Mb/s so it ain't from that connection !! :)
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
Here we go...
[Thunderbolt General] SFBPro:
Holy crap! You are correct man! I didn't realize Verizon's network was so good here!
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
Try different 'locations' from the Speakeasy site too.

FWIW, the 33Mb/s is the highest I've ever seen myself.
[Thunderbolt General] mthe0ry:
Yes, in fact just last week I got a Certified Like New replacement for my TBolt for this very problem. It was resolved immediately with the new device.

I had tried replacing sim card, replacing back door, replacing battery, flashing various roms and radios, and a full restore to stock with s-on; nothing worked for the defective device.

My 4g speed degraded gradually over a period of a few weeks and became dramatically worse and practically unusable in a span of a few days at the end of it.

When I got my CLN, I had both the replacement and my original unit side by side in the same spot in my house and ran speedtest on the same server using 4g, same sim card, same rom (Stock GB MR), same radio, no SD card, no installed apps.

The difference was black and white, the original was total **** (several times failing to even complete the test due to "network issues") and the replacement was hitting ~25Mbps down.

Long story short, the TB 4g hardware can spontaneously start to fail. It's for that reason I'm contemplating getting insurance once my mfg warranty wears out. I love the character of this phone but I think some of the engineering behind it might be third rate.

My friends and I are at the Radio City Music Hall, waiting to get into the christmas spectacular. One of my friends is late, and the rest of us get fed up waiting and we get in the really long line.

We're making decent progress (and the line is growing behind us), and my friend shows up. So we kind of slide out of the line (but not quite) to wait for him, and we're casually trying to get him to cut in line with the rest of us. It's all a bit awkward.

I see two security guards giving us the eye, and finally they walk up to us and ......

Guard #1: 'Excuse me.......'

Me: 'uhhhhh, yes?'

Guard: What phone is that??!? That's great!!

He's going off about how one of his coworkers has huge hands and how he'd love the Note. Meanwhile behind them, my friend gets in line. Bwa ha ha!

Side note - I was eating dinner tonight in a restaurant and 6 people (including the restaurant manager) wandered up to our table asking me questions about the note - What it was, where I got it, and how much it was. It was a little crazy actually.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
Same here. I've had quite a few people ask about the phone. Every single one of those inquiries were also supplemented by some form of "Awesome" until i told them that it's not available in US yet
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] HTC Chris:
Haha yeah I can relate. I was at Best Buy Mobile yesterday and the second I brought out my phone the representative was all like O___O and asked what kind of phone it was. He even laid it flat on his hand and went, "damn it's as big as my hand." Then four other people surrounded me and commented about how it was like a mini tablet and how nice it looked; one even compared it to the Dell Streak. This phone is definitely a head turner lol.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] flst2000us:
Yea i have had the same thing happen but some times I think people are just plain nuts.. as several of them ask where did I get the phone and I said Poland and they look at me then asked "how was the weather there":confused: Some of these people even know me and know I have not left town:confused:

Must be Black friday issues in the mind... :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] HTC_Phone:
I noticed this while plugging my phone in today. As I did.. The orange charging LED came on, signaling that the phone was charging. However, the battery in the top notification bar is not showing a charge, and in settings > About phone > Battery, it says the phone is not charging. Searched and can't find a similar problem. Any help?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chilidogtampa:
a) try a different charger

b) try a different battery

I was using a cord from some other device to charge my inspire off my PC at work and it went bad causing intermittent charging, although almost all my mish-mash of micro usb chargers seem to work ok on this phone.

if you stop at a ATT store and ask nicely they *might* find you a spare battery in their junk drawer...I bought one off ebay for less than $10.

HTH.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tzinux:
Make sure you are using the chord that came with your phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
Try restarting the phone for starters. Also did you flash a new ROM recently before this problem happened?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Helgon2000:
Hey, i flashed my HTC HD2 some months ago.

I used the nexus-hd2 gingerbread build but this one is already outdatet (gingerbread 2.3.3...) and i want something new :)

Ive decided to try out this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=769026

Ive read the Steps how to proceede

My first question: I read in the thread that this instructions are made for a

So: do i have to flash first back to the stock rom? If yes, would you be so kind to give me a link?

i really searched but didnt rly found something.

I have a 512 EU HTC HD2 (and the Problem is, im not sure which rom i should use because i bought the cell phone directly, not from a provider, so which provider should i choose?) (im confused because the roms allways have a name like ...E-Plus, O² so im not sure which to use.

1. HSPL 2.08 is already installed.

2. Magladr 1.33 is also already installed

3. Is mostly clear (when i installed the rom i currently use, no cwm was required)

4. Does that mean, that i must have a card reader? because i have no one :D So can i not install the rom?

The instruction to copy the magldr build zip to the root.. is the root the "highest" folder/layer like in a tree?(i think so?)

But before i do this. Have i to format the SD card fist? if yes, which format?

5. have i to use this backup utility or is it "just" recommended

Thanks in advance,

regards Helgon
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ty5982:
you don't need to get a stock rom as you already have hspl2.08 and magldr 1.13,i'd suggest downloadin xda apk,then you can download a rom,it'll save to ur sd card(as u dnt have a reader),get recovery 5.0.2.6,then u should be good to go without any probs
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Helgon2000:
Hey. thnaks for your awsner but what ist this xda apk and what recovery?

regards helgon

edit: i just watched a howo install cwm video and in this the guy booted into magldr, selected usb connection and then copied the rom files to the root. is this right? why do i need then a card reader?

edit2: and in the video the guy just copied the "boot" folder from the rom (contains initrd.zip and zImage). why just this folder. do you have maybe a link to a video wheres explained how to install cwm (maybe also the rom then).

EDIT 3 : Haha.. yes edit3 :D

ive got the idea that my laptop has n card reader and i have and micro sd to sd adapter.. what a coicidence :D

so. my single last question is: do i have to format my sd card first? (and if yes, what format). do i have to copy all files from the HyperDroid-CM7-Killer-Koala-v5.5.2-magldr-signed.zip or the whole zip file?

regards
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Helgon2000:
So, to rephrase the edits:

My last questions are:

- Do I have to format my SD Card(if yes - which format?) before i install the CWM and then the new ROM (is it recommended?)

- I want to use this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=769026 HyperDroid-CM7-Killer-Koala-v5.5.2-magldr-signed.zip. Do I need to copy the whole zip file or just the exported files to the root?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mutil:
formatting sd is recommended but not necessary.just in ad recovery 'wipe data factory reset'

you must put the rom.zip to sd ,dont extract it. you can put it using your usb connection.

your present cwr partition goes well with hyperdroid too. but flashing a new cwr each time is recommended strongly.

Hello everyone. Fairly new to this, yet not total noobish.

I apologize if there is already a thread about this but i couldnt come across one that would give me an answer to my problem.

Infuse 4G -Got the phone little while ago, had Infused rom on, I downloaded CM7 from this following link on here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1311960

Followed those steps, everything went flawlessly. Until, i went into CWM to download and install GAPPS. I get an error message stating: SD Card Not Mounted. The sd card needs to be mounted to use ROM Manager.:confused:

I rebooted into recovery and tried mounting the sd card that way, no luck.

It's 1:49am, stressful day. Any help would be greatly appreciated. So far I love all of you from the help youve been providing me since before I even made an account!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] chuckles_prs:
WOW!

I so apologize if anyone has been searching for an answer. but i just fixed it.

I believe its my time to get some sleep.

This is going to make me sound really noobish, but it was as simple as powering off the phone, ejecting the sd card, popping it back in, power back on, done.

sorry if i wasted anyones time.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Impulses:
I've been doing some searching on the subject but all I find is old threads/info or discussions that don't apply to me, so anyway, hopefully someone can help me.

I can't find any paid apps when i search on the Market, however if I follow a direct link or look for them under additional apps for a certain dev/publisher then they show up... Regardless when i click on the price to buy it I get an error that says "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found. ". If it were a location issue I think I'd get a different error no?

I've had my TF since the summer and I honestly can't remember if I've ever bought any apps directly on it... I've installed plenty of free apps and stuff from Amazon's App store, plus a few apps that I originally bought on my phone (all previously purchased apps still show up under My Apps)... But it's quite possible I never bought any apps on the tablet. Basically i've no idea if this a new or recent problem.

However I can buy apps on my Sprint phone just fine even while on the same account and Wifi connection. I'm in Puerto Rico, which can sometimes find itself in limbo when it comes to things like this but the fact that the market works fine on the phone also makes me think it shouldn't be a location issue. My TF is stock, not rooted, and has the latest updates.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Impulses:
Oh and I have already tried force stopping the market, clearing data/cache for it, restarting the tablet, and removing / re-adding my Google account on the tablet. On the web version of the market it just says any paid app is incompatible with the TF.

AT&T Recently updated the Skyrocket firmware to Gingerbread 2.3.6. Does anyone know if the Easy Root will still work for this or do I need to downgrade to 2.3.5? The reason I ask is because on one of the tutorial sites someone commented that it did not work for them after the update. I was going to try but didn't want to risk it until I was completely sure that it was not a user error and that it would work with the new version. This is my first Android device; been a BlackBerry man for the last 2 years.

If this is so, what is the easiest way to backtrack to the older version of the software.

[Galaxy S II General] vatis24:
Greetings all,

This is my second day with the Galaxy S2 and my first post in your forums , i upgraded from xperia x10 and i have no words to describe this super machine .

Impressed from the stock Firmware and touchwiz.

Anyway back to the subject , i have a problem with gtalk at stock rom, i cant connect to it through 3g, but i can use every other application with no problems , browser , gmail, emails all working great with 3g.

I flashed Galnet Miui yesterday and tried gtalk and working with 3g.

So i kindly ask if someone could help with this problem .

Why gtalk working with 3G on Miui rom and NOT in stock rom ?

With simple words in stock rom gtalk app can not communicate with server, not even logging .

Gtalk is very important application for me and my work and i would really love to use the stock or roms based on stock but unfortunately i can not because of that.

Dont get me wrong i like Miui but i used it a lot on x10 and touchwiz giving me the feeling of a solid , fast and complete Rom.

I am reading your threads and i am impressed how people in here trying to help , advice each other. Everything is in order.

Thanks in advance guys,

Regards

Try the gtalk enabler in the market (I think that's what its called). Worked for me to get video chat over 3g (att has the feature marked as not available over 3g, gtalk enabler overrides this)

EDIT: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.innodroid.gtalkenabler

If its blocked by your carrier, try finding the apk on the developer's website.
[Galaxy S II General] vatis24:
@compuw22c ,

Thank you for your fast reply .

I will try it as soon as i will re-flash stock Rom .

Sorry to change subject but now in the Galnet Miui its pre-installed the new version of gtalk with video support , i guess there is also a working version for stock?

Can you provide some more details.

Thanks again.

Sweet... another ROM Dev!

The biggest props right now go to Roach's Kernel, Blades and co haven't had a source release since August, I dont know what Roach has had over them during the interm time, but it seems to be pretty damn decent if i say so myself... Oh, and the TF201 (Transformer Prime) Kernel Source is out, so hopefully someone will tear it down and see what can be ported over to our TF101 (Transformer)!

And speaking of Roach's Kernel (which sadly lacks UV aka Undervolding to save power), look into the dual core optimized OC daemon and OC Daemon control panel! Best low level OC tool ever... Talk about Mhz speed scaling!

EDIT: yes, most other ROM's support GPU UI Acceleration
